Happy Monday!

Happy Monday to all! Last night I worked a little on my first block for my new project. It should be finished by the end of the week then everyone can see the finished product. I am so enjoying being able to do my stitching again.

I also want to say to all members of StitchMap I put the Teaser up on Saturday. Please go and answer the questions for a GREAT prize. This month the Teaser is on a very talented artist Candace Kling. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about her and her art!

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
